Galega had extensive soft tissue damage to one wing and the wounds were old and full of scab and debris. It took several months of daily wound care to get the wounds clean. During that process it also transpired one of his wings was broken, the bone was literally shattered and fragments were in the wounds. The soft tissue damage healed well but the missing wing fragments mean Galega can’t fly very well.

Unfortunately Galega isn't able to be released because he is unable to fly well enough to survive in the wild.

The costs of keeping our permanent residents is the largest burden on our very limited finances. As well as their day to day feeding, bedding etc, those with health issues can run up significant vet bills. Consequently we very much appreciate any help we can get with the costs of caring for our special residents.
